Captain Zigfried

Captain Zigfried leads Carcossa’s human and Shadowscythe exiles in pursuit of a home where they can exist together. His love for Bryn makes that wish personal. He wanted to become what she was, enduring painful changes under the Shadowscythe virus that eventually left him a Doom Spirit. Believing she had reincarnated as a happy human, he was willing to sleep for her sake. Learning that she was instead lost and unable to retain her original form changed that understanding.

The separation of bodies, minds and lives defines much of his account of Carcossa. He says an event horizon erased the crew’s bodies without destroying their minds, while resets and timeline fusion gave some new lives and left others behind. Reunited with Bryn through the Hero, he offers the crew’s help in exchange for a place in the world. A new body is developing for him in a stasis pod.
